jaysonjames Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I am not professional on Illustrator. Want to make a company logo for me. What is most easy software for making a quality logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Beaulieu Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 If you can use Max and/or CAD then you are a professional on illustrator, you are just scared of it. Vector software is no different than 2D architectural software. Paths are Lines Fills are Planes/Surfaces (so their outline needs to be closed in order to work properly) Points are Vertices Fillet is unfortunately an effect known as "Round Corners" and any 3D stuff is usually an FX application like it would be in Photoshop (ie drop shadow or glow) Pathfinder is a great tool for creating Booleans and Blend works like an array only that it is better because you can follow a path and you can have you object morph from one thing to another over many steps. Some CAD like tools can be found here: http://www.cvalley.com/products/xtreampath/ if all else fails, render it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francisco Penaloza Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Having a background of graphic design my answer would be any software that you feel comfortable. You can do a logo even with Paint, your output media is the important thing here, and how elaborate is your design. Now remember when simpler the better, high glossy reflections or refraction are hard to print or barely visible, in Business card for instance, so great logos are always the simple one, lets say Nike or Apple. Photoshop can do the job, now you can even output vector files as PDF that can be printed in large format or any vector base printing purpose. Now if your logo will be only in the top of your website and maybe in some invoices, staying with pixel based software will be enough, but if you plan to do embossed business cards, or shirts and all those merchandise gadget, try to think Vector base designs.

Nic H Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 i think u can download logos as well maybe try freelancer.com where you can get them for 5-10 dollars by professional logo makers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Homeless Guy Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Great logos usually are not created because you know how to use Illustration software. If that were the case then the new Yahoo logo might have been successful. If you operate under your own name then just use the watermark JJ in a good font and call it a day. It will work better in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M V Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 http://www.logomaid.com/ If you are looking for very easy. Otherwise, I would just draft it in Photoshop (because thats what I know) and then maybe hire someone to convert it to Illustrator, if you are not familiar with it.

Ernest Burden III Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 This thread is puzzling. One point of advice, if you mean Virginia, don't spell it "Virgenia" on your letterhead. There's a line in an Elvis Costello song that goes "good manners and bad breath get you nowhere". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markparsons Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 As someone who went to school for/often works as a graphic designer in addition to architecture, please just read a few rules or books about typography (i.e. typographic hierarchy). Avoid logos unless you need a mark that absolutely represents what you do. Others have mentioned this, but a fine typeface can go a long way. Here is some nice type: http://www.saunders.no/ (Bold, and then Light. The font is Gotham which is an excellent choice) http://www.septemberindustry.co.uk/madebysix/ Collection of somewhat-recent work by firm MadebySix http://www.anagrama.com/ Tons of amazing work. DO NOT use sites like logotype creator. If you really need the help I can help you design one for free if it means one less shitty logotype in the world.
